Well, really there’s not much to report.
The drive to Vegas went quickly and easily. We literally did nothing in Vegas — In fact, we we most excited by the fact that the Luxor has two Starbucks. Party animals we are not.
The second leg of the drive into Los Feliz also went without a hitch. From […]

I finally got my order of Lucid Absinthe a week or two ago. The time has come for me to do a side-by-side face off with the other absinthe I had in house. (Yes, by “time has come” I mean “The Wife is out of the house”.)
